Despite the competition from trendy new fitness inventions, exercise bikes continue to be popular options for home exercise. They offer the same aerobic benefits of riding a bicycle at any time, in any weather, without leaving the comfort and safety of home. Exercise bikes don't take up much space, require little or no balance or coordination, and can provide an effective workout for all levels of users, from beginners to serious competitors. While the same could be said for a number of other types of home fitness equipment, the exercise bike is one of the few that allows you to watch television or read a magazine while you work out. The term recumbent literally means "lying down." Exercising in a recumbent or reclining position allows the user to have full ergonomic back support, without causing strain on the arms, neck and shoulders, all of which can be common effects of using an upright bicycle. For many people, having convenient access to quality exercise equipment is critical to sticking with a long-term exercise program.

 Missing Parts August 28, 2010
Disappointed Giver (Michigan, US)
I know this is a basic low-end bike, but, based on the reviews, I decided it would certainly be sufficient for my use. It arrived late on a Friday. On Saturday morning, my husband assembled it only to find the hand rest bars were missing. We tried to call customer service but they now only have hours between 7:30 and 4:30 (our time) Monday through Thursday. I am pretty sure that this bike will serve my needs in the long run, but have been somewhat disappointed with my initial impression.
 No Customer Support August 24, 2010

My exercise bike is noisy, regardless of what the "promotion" reviews claim--it is so noisy that my neighbor will no longer speak to me. I like to exercise early in the morning and apparently the noise is vibrating through the floor or wall. The bike gives off a clunking noise like someone hitting a pipe with a hammer. After checking the owner' manual I discovered that there is no Trouble Shooting section so I called "Customer Service" at Stamina. They told me that the warranty was only for 3 months and I am well past that, but an almost new machine should not just start making noise! Seems that the Stamina Customer Service people are only in the business of selling parts, and here is the worst part: the customer has to figure out what is wrong! I opened the housing and the flimsy plastic is so cheap that I could not get it back on the way it came off. After playing around for a hour with the various parts I sprayed the ball bearing case with silicone, and the noise seems to have temporarily decreased a little. Summary: Don't buy this product or others like it from this company. The bike is cheap and breaks down quickly--it is not reliable. The "no noise" reviews cannot be believed. The customer service does nothing but try and sell you parts and the owner's manual will not guide you when there is a problem.
 Great exercise bike to get back in shape August 21, 2010

I bought the bike so that my wife could use it after her knee surgery but now I am using to lose some weight. I was walking but when the temperature hit and stayed in the 90's, I decided I needed an indoor exercise.
I am not a fan of exercise, hence my weight problem. I have tried gyms before but never got to the gym often enough to make membership worth it. Just finished 30 minutes on bike and feel great about it.
Bike was fairly easy to set up and does not take up alot of room. It is quiet enough to use while watching TV.
Love it! July 6, 2010
Victoria Frey (USA)
I've had this bike for a month, and I've used it every day, and I LOVE it. I was looking for something affordable, small, and quiet to use in my apartment on a daily basis, and this was exactly what I wanted. My 9 year old son and I assembled it together - it took some time, but it wasn't too difficult at all. I have it parked right in front of my TV, between the couch and the recliner, and it's so quiet I can ride it while we're watching TV and there's no distraction. The resistance settings are great, you can make it super-easy or super-challenging, and everything in between. I've noticed a definite change in my strength and endurance as well.
A lot of reviewers mention a "clicking" noise, and I experienced that as well for the first week or two, but then it disappeared and I haven't heard it since, and it hasn't affected the use of the bike at all. My only other negative is that the seat, while decent, is still a bit harsh on the bum, but that's not really the manufacturer's fault because I know it'll get more comfortable as I lose weight and put less pressure on it!
Defective product. June 29, 2010
Marc Maffei (Sonora, CA USA)
First off, while the overall design fits my needs, the quality of workmanship and the packaging is typical of things made cheaply. The first sign of trouble came when I was putting this machine together, the instructions clearly state how to put the item together, with the appropriate labels on the parts... except that some of the labels were missing. Making it a nice Chinese puzzle. The second sign of trouble was that one of the pedals was obviously rough, (the bearings where obviously bad), but the real issue was the main "magnetic resistance wheel" which was rumbling when I started to use it, breaking in the middle of my pedaling. It did that very very suddenly causing me some (minor) injury.
IF this was made with quality workmanship, even at an extra 30 or 40 bucks, it would be worth it. As it stands, avoid it if you don't feel comfortable doing returns, or trying to deal with the manufacturer and their phone maze... which I finally avoided by just returning it to Amazon. Amazon at least does make the ACTUAL return process painless, even if FINDING the return information was not simple.
